Metal Tire Chains have Remained virtually the same Design for over 100 Years!
Chains and cables are not resilient, will not "FLEX" with the applied loads, and cannot rebound to their original shape or mounting configuration once they are exposed to the inherent characteristics and dynamic loads of a tire. Considering all the Above Facts, One could not expect rigidly affixed Steel Tire Chains / Cables to remain mounted to very resilient and dynamic tires while in motion.

"Finally got an opportunity to use our Flex Trax on a Trolley Bus - dual wheels on the rear. Started snowing halfway through a 6 hour gig. Driver stopped and put 'em on. First time using them. Driver said the (positive) difference was immediately noticeable. 6" of new snow in a few hours - didn't faze the Trolley after the Flex Trax units were put on. No more fears with Flex Trax. This will open up opportunities for winter use and winter revenue in the Trolley business... Well worth the money!"

Mud & Snow Tires on Demand

Snow Tires Only When You Need Them(only much better!)Why endure the hassle and expense of swapping snow tires twice a year when you need them so rarely? Put Flex-Trax in the trunk and you can strap on the extra traction only when you really need it.

Mud Tires (Knobbies) tend to pack mud on the periphery of the tire rendering them useless for traction.Flex-Trax "Self-Cleaning" solves for this issue as they continually throw the materials away from the surface of the tire.

Snow Blowers, Plows, ATVs and Garden Tractors can all realize the Flex-Trax gripping action without damaging the Driveway Surface.

Snow Blower SnowClaws

Snow Blower SnowClaws.
We satisfy the needs of many special applications.

I found that the Snow Claws were well designed and made, Installation was straight forward and with the ratchet feature and the clasp made tightening the Snow Claws very easy. Their low profile provided great running clearance to the fenders on the garden tractor. They provide excellent grip in the snow for snow blowing my long driveway. I would recommend them.Thanks again for your help,John

Hello Fellow Vanagon Pilots!The message below I sent to the Vanagon list but I thought many of you might find these GoClaws interesting for off road and snow purposes.

Let me start by saying I do not work for GoClaws and they are not paying me for these comments. I am just so impressed with the engineering of this product that I had to give everyone a report. GoClaws is an alternative to conventional tire chains. I like things that are unique and well engineered. This is why I like Vanagon Westfalia Campers. GoClaws is without a doubt a unique and well engineered product.

There was some discussion on the list a while back about tire chains. This started me on my quest to find the perfect tire chain for my Vanagon. One day I stumbled upon GoClaws and I posted them to the Vanagon list for everyone to see. They seemed very intriguing so I ordered a set.I figured if they sucked I would try to send them back.

I just got my set of GoClaws today and could not wait to try them out. We have been receiving lots of snow this week. Our ground in Western Michigan is covered by 10-14 inches of fresh, wet, heavy snow. Under the snow is a thick layer of ice because we started out the week with an ice storm. I have a 2WD Vanagon Westy that is absolutely terrible in the snow with its Michelin Agilis tires and standard 2WD transmission. But when I put the GoClaws on the rear tires today I blazed through fresh snow that was 10-14 inches deep. I even busted through a snow drift that was close to 2 feet deep. I took off down a two track trail that had not been driven on yet making new tracks and the van just ripped through it like an animal. For a fleeting moment I thought I was driving a Syncro. I was in the height of my glory when I got stuck going up a small grade. The snow was around 14-16 inches deep and had drifted in a low spot at the base of the small hill. My first thought was my wife was going to kill me. She was already laughing at me because she knew I was about to go do something stupid. But I was able to rock the van back and forth about 4 or 5 times, each time going farther up the hill until I made it out.

My driveway is another good test because it is a steep sheet of ice. I could drive up the driveway and stop half way, and start out again without loosing traction. I was also able to back up the driveway slowly without loosing traction.

My Vanagon has factory alloys on it so one thing that was important to me when I was researching tire chains was to find a solution that would not scratch the alloys. And these being rubber don't tear up the wheels.

I love these things and can't wait to try them out on mud and sand. When I get a chance this summer to use them off road, I will give another report to let everyone know how they worked.

I can't wait to go four wheeling again! (ok. two wheeling with style)

Update-"I have now used a set of these on my bus for about 10 years. They work great in the snow and mud."

Todd OlsonBuses By the Beach

We left Mammoth Mtn on Dec 29th drove to Tahoe in a blizzard. During this short trip I went thru 2 sets of heavy duty chains between going and returning. I bought these GoClaws because the metal chains damaged the side of my vehicleand having the chains break on me is the reason I moved to this solution.I know the GoClaws cost more, but I never have to worry about damage, or getting stuck in snow or mud ever again...

"We really love the product...They are so much better then conventional chains, it's unreal"

Thanks! Trevor Aagard

"Not only is your product top notch but your customer service is excellent! When I damaged a flextrax link after a hasty install, I reached out to you for assistance on obtaining a replacement. Not only did you personally take the time to help me determine the type / size of my Flextrax system but you kindly sent me a replacement section / link at no charge. Lets just say I was shocked when you wouldn't even let me pay for shipping - that level of customer service and product backing is a rare commodity in today's business environment and speaks to your high personal and professional standards. The replacement section arrived just in time as I received snow the next day and used the Flextrax. I live high in the mountains of Nevada and Flextrax is essential to my ability to get to work when it snows - and it does in the mountains. I recommend Flextrax to all my colleagues and neighbors."

Many thanks! Wayne Walker

"Your product is the only reason I made it past the most difficult road conditions I have ever been on!""Coming down the mountain from Snow Shoe Mountain Resort, West Virginia. I did not have to put them on until I hit total black ice and snow...2012 Toyota Tundra Double Cab 2WD with a 400lbs+ ballast strapped down over the axle and a 4 adult passengers.After initial install I did a quick test spin of the tires and the right side came off, so I realized that I did not properly seat the hardware and redid the installation double checking and triple checking all connections. Second test, no problem. Somewhat of a bumpy ride but immediate different level of confidence on the road. Your product is the only reason I made it past the most difficult road conditions I have ever been on! Nonetheless I had a line of cars and trucks follow my treads because the second they veered from them I could see fishtailing and instability.I am totally sold on your product!"Danut Batin

Ski Lodge Operator says,"...traction to spare.... !""This is to let you know that I purchased a set of the Go Claws online and they worked very well!We drive the van right up the mountain with traction to spare....and we now have a RWD 15 Passenger Van that will go anywhere in the winter, thanks to the GoClaws.."Thanks,Steve Goettler

"I love your products as it has worked well for my truck and car!"Thanks,David Lee

"I ordered SnoClaws one week and used them the following week. Fresh snow was hiding slick Ice in Red River, NM which prevented two of us from climbing up a hill. This was our only way. I put on my newly ordered SnoClaws and made it easily up the hill. I took my SnoClaws off and walked back to offer them to the SUV behind me but they had already slipped partially off the side of the Mt. and had to be pulled out. When I showed him the SnoClaw he ask what they were. I explained that’s what I just used to get me up the hill. They’re AWESOME!"Brian Johnson

"Fork Truck GoClaws work great!The set we purchased for the fork truck and are working out nicely."Thank you,Scott Hunsinger

"Just wanted to let you know that we purchased a set of SnoClaws, and we have found it to be an outstanding item. We manage several large timeshare properties here in Branson MO, and we needed something to allow one of our small 2wd trucks to get around in the snow. We wanted an alternative to traditional steel chains, since they can damage road and parking lot surfaces (we are very protective of our properties, everything must be 5 star!). We have used the SnoClaws in the last few snowstorms, (one of which was 10 inches in one day) and they have done a superb job getting us around to deliver equipment and ice melt in a timely manner. They are light and easy to handle, and I like the fact that they can be taken apart for repairs if they are ever needed. Thanks again for making a great product!"

"Thanks Tony!You guys are awesome!"Kevin Hysinger

"Hello. Let me say how much I love your products. I purchased two SnoClaws a few years back and it has made a world of difference in accessibility.

I wanted to see if you make a smaller size to fit my John Deere tractor with the tire size of 24 x 12x 12 and how I can order it. Thank you for your time."

"I have owned My SnoClaws Flex trax for over 8 Years. They have helped Me out of some situations of Knee deep Snow! (this was done twice just to put them to the test.) I did not have the ability to roll on to them like the way You have to install chains. I was stuck in place, but with My SnoClaws Installed I pulled right out of the spot that had My 4 wheel drive at a stand still and was on My way!I will never buy chains again...Thanks SnoClaws!!"

"Long story short: FLEX-TRAX have gotten me out of some dicey situations involving heavy snow and sheer ice where I otherwise would have been completely stuck."Carl Himpsel-Boulder, CO

"Thanks for creatingsuch an innovative and practical product."-Sgt. David McCoy

"I purchased 2 sets of the GO CLAWS to use while plowing with my Chevy Silverado on all 4 tires. (I had been using chains). The GO CLAWS worked flawlessly in the deep snow (on the rear only), so well, I am pleased in using only 1 set!"Richard Simpson

"I enjoy using my Snowclaw Tire Chain for plowing my driveway, they do not damge the surface and they work great!These Snowclaws are awesome!"Thanks, Jeff Roth

"Live in Oregon, do lots of skiing. Bought these a few months ago, super happy. I have AS tires on my rig (great for our wet weather) but hate swapping out for AT when I go to the mountains. Solution Go claws. I was a little apprehensive at first, but so far they have been awesome."

"I bought Flex Trax for my LR3 about a month ago, and I had the opportunity to try it last weekend.I have to say that they performed quite well. Rather excellent actually. I was pretty invincible. I did not, however, do the same area without them, I am only comparing to how I have done in the past in similar looking mud puddles. With the trax on, I just powered right through.The Land Rover guy that was there was very enthusiastic about them. I was telling him of my concerns, but he told me that he thought they would be ok, and even if they came apart that they wouldn't damage anything on the LR3 (the air suspension is inside a canister). The Land Rover guy was in front of me in a Range Rover, and he described some of the mud as "pretty slimy." With the trax, I didn't even notice that. Everyone was very impressed." Thanks!John Kosowski Jr.

"Worked Brilliantly and were very easy and quick to put on!""I just wanted to write to say thank you so much for sending the snoclaws all the way to me in NZ, they arrived quickly as you said they would, and we used them on the weekend to get our van out of the skifield carpark where there was alot of snow on the ground and an uphill slope.They worked brilliantly and were very easy and quick to put on even in the cold. I am glad that we now feel alot safer and more confident getting up and down from the skifields in NZ."

Kind regardsAnna Graham

"Just got hammered with snow in Colorado and I never feel comfortable driving our van without these trax on board. Headed deep into the mountains with our 2 wheel drive RV for my son's ski training this Friday. Overwhelmed with the relief of just having them. Thank you so much!"Bill Karam
